Corey Ribotsky Update

It’s hard to find a more inspirational story than this one.  On Sunday, October 17^th, the Nike Women’s Half Marathon will take place in San Francisco, California to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  The money that is raised for this half marathon will help to stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma.

Team Nancy, with sisters Debbie, Barbie, Kathy, Pam, Tam and Tracy, is training for this half marathon in memory of their sister, Nancy Driscoll. Now, the six are training in their home towns and planning to meet up in San Francisco for the big race.

“Losing a sister or anyone to cancer is unacceptable not to mention painful and gut wrenching,” Tam says. “We want to stop cancer from taking more  lives and are taking action with this race. It’s a tough challenge, but having  our sister Nancy’s spirit and memory to fuel our feet and hearts is worth ever  step. We feel like we are making a difference in so many lives.”

This is one example of the many fundraising efforts that the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society puts together to help raise money for cancer research.  Donations from organizations like the NIR Group and Corey Ribotsky certainly help them to meet their goals, as do these amazing stories and efforts by individuals.
